GOP Congressmen Quit Because of Five-Day Work Week

Nine Republican congressmen have so far announced that they will be running for re-election. One of those lawmakers, Rep. Ray LaHood (R-IL),
complained "that the Democrats' new five-day workweek" is part of the reason they're all retiring:

"I do think the schedule and the flying is a huge pain for people, particularly those who are from the Midwest or even further West," he said, adding
that it's "probably the worst part of the job."

Why all the flying, why is it hard on their family? Why don't they move their family to D.C. where they are working now? Isn't that what
mostnormal people would do if they got a job out of town?

There are people that have to work seven days a week just to get by, and they are complaining about working a normal work week?
PLEASE!

I say good riddance to these "congressmen", the people made a mistake in electing you in the first place. People elected these politicians
thinking they would work hard for them. They were elected to perform one of the most important jobs in our government, but have to bail out because
the job now requires them to work 5 days a week, they just can't handle that, that's just toooo much!

Which is it? Are they running for re-election or are they retiring?

Must be another George Soros funded web-site that can't get the facts straight?

Congressmen do have to maintain their residence in the district the represent. Only the very rich and can afford to keep their main residence in their
home state and buy a nice place in Washington big enough for their famillies, especially if they have children.

Plus, their job is to represent their district, so obviously they need to travel back and forth quite often.
